Outside of little quirks here and there, very nice place to stay and we have no complaints! The only things to be aware of is that the pool is about waist deep and it can be a bit of a hike from where you park to the house if you have heavy bags. Overall a clean and nice place! You won't be disappointed. ##### Kellen B.

Our group of eight friends had an incredible stay at this VRBO property in Alma, Wisconsin. Nestled in a secluded spot with no nearby neighbors, it offered the ultimate retreat into nature. The expansive land, abundant wildlife, and serene surroundings provided the perfect backdrop for our getaway. The property itself was ideal for our group. We particularly loved the wrap-around deck and porch, which gave us ample space to relax and enjoy the stunning views. The pool was a huge hit, offering a refreshing escape during the day, while the firepit was perfect for cozy evenings under the stars. Tim, the host, was fantastic. He was quick to respond to any questions we had and provided helpful tips before our arrival, which made our stay smooth and enjoyable. Overall, this VRBO was everything we hoped for and more. It was a perfect blend of comfort and seclusion, allowing us to unwind and enjoy each other’s company in a beautiful setting. Highly recommended for anyone looking to escape the hustle and bustle and reconnect with nature! ##### Caitlyn S.
